This is a first class hotel in a perfect location. The staff were friendly, helpful & made us most welcome. The pool area was well laid out, leading to a relaxing atmosphere. The food was generous & of a hogh standard. We'll be back!

Staff were friendly and obliging all the time...nothing was too much. Rooms excellent, pool and beach clean, there is a walk down to the beach cove from hotel. Food lovely however we did eat...

It's...
